Love That Might Have Been

The old Sarge had been eyeing her all day when finally he summoned the courage to make his move.  As he bent to greet the seated lady, he spilt half his drink into her lap.  Appalled, he grabbed a napkin to help her wipe it up while spilling the rest of it down her back.

A true story of tragedy un-averted for Friday Flash 55 at the G-man's.

  4. If she didn't know better, she'd think he was trying to get her out of her clothes.

  5. Well, if she was able to get past this incident, he could rest assured that she was THE ONE for him.

  6. It wouldn't bother me to get a drink spilled on me unless it was something sticky, like a hurricane or a pina colada.

    1. This was a large beer. He didn't look too happy about it but then, I was laughing too hard to pay much attention to detail.

  7. OH NOW I GET IT! This is why the old lady won't let me walk around with a beverage at a public function!

  8. oh, this reminds me of the time when I was in junior high (now called middle school) when we went out for dinner one night and the waiter accidentally dumped an entire pitcher of ice water down my back. he was so certain that he was going to be fired that he went through the kitchen and out the door. somebody had to go after him to assure him that it was OK. accidents happen.

  9. Poor sarge, it never does to be too eager.

    How about a sequel about what happened next?

    1. The lady was mad as hell, with good reason. The old Sarge was drunk and all of his buddies, us, were laughing so hard we couldn't control it and I'm sure the poor girl felt quite humiliated. She and her girlfriend left.

    2. By the way, this little event occurred in Germany on a Rhine River cruise way long time ago when I was stationed there. We were all American GI's, even the girl, who was a nurse.

  10. Ah, the old "spill half your drink in her lap, spill the other half down her back" pickup scam. Did she fall for it?

  11. back in the 60's when we wore the big fecking bee hives..I poured an entire glass of a grasshopper in this woman's hive..she was not amused..especially since it gave me a case of the giggles and I couldn't stop laughing while I assured her I was 'really really sorry.'

    1. I had a similar thing happen to me when I hit someone with a snowball meant for someone else. My buddies were all laughing and saying... He's gonna beat your ass... that I couldn't stop laughing either. Fortunately, he laughed too.

  12. This was a switcheroo. I missed this last week, so read the explanation before reading the flash. Not sure if that affected my response to this or not, but I loved it.
